❄ fifth reminder

[ around mayfield ; sunday afternoon ]





[ If you leave your home Sunday afternoon, chances are you have seen one of these fliers stuck up somewhere. Telephone poles, mailboxes, windshields, store windows, no location is safe from Jade and her roll of scotch tape.

She has even plastered some unconventional locations with fliers, shoved them into books at the library, taped them to tables and shoved them under doors and into mailboxes so that you might not even have to leave your home to see it.

Chances are you see her while she's hanging some up, or she might even be passing you one (or more) while asking; ]

Have you seen this troll?

[ phone ]

Hi, I was just checking to see if anyone had any information about my fliers!

I am serious about that reward too. [ She giggles. ] But that's a secret!

Oh, and I'm more likely to answer an unbelievably retarded poster?

[echidna]

Obviously!

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I would have answered if you'd called. I'm not going to not show up if the hive is burning down or something.

[echidna]

[ She sighs. Karkat come hoooooome. ]

Sorry.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's fine. I probably should have said where I was going, but I didn't want people traipsing all over this hive or something.

[echidna]

I would have left you alone if you had told me where you were going.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, he wouldn't.

[echidna]

You could have just told me.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Okay, I fucked up on that respect. I admit it. What do you want me to say beyond that?

[echidna]

I don't know!

Say when you're coming back.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

[echidna]

You're going to get droned if you're not careful.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I was there just the other day. I even talked to Gamzee for a while.

I know how often I have to come back.

[echidna]

[ WHAT why didn't he say hi to her. ]

Oh. [ trying not to sound sadder than she already is. ] So you're just going to come back every couple of days then?

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

It's not about you and it's not even about him. Can't I have your permission to mope for a while about the miserable state of my quadrants?

[echidna]

I guess so...

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

[G...guilty...]

Are you two all right?

[echidna]

We're fine. [ honestly not trying to be guilt trippy but she probably is anyway. ] Um, so you can take your time, okay!

[ now she feels kind of like a jerk so she is trying to sound a little more cheerful. ]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Maybe it won't be that much longer. I don't know.

Maybe this is really stupid.

[echidna]

It might be a little bit stupid. But I think you should take all the time you need.

[ she laughs a little, gently. ]

Sorry about the posters.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you agree, I wouldn't want you to try to spare my feelings or anything.

It's not really a big deal.

[echidna]

Don't worry, I would never do that.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

I would just come back. But I keep saying stupid things because apparently I'm an idiot who can't have run of the mill relationship problems without turning into the most hopelessly selfish asshole who ever existed.

I should be forced to use a password to talk to Gamzee.

[echidna]

You always say stupid things though! And I don't think you're being selfish... if anything I was probably being the selfish one.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Fuck you, I'm being serious.

I don't ever want him to find out about what happens ahead of him down the timeline, and I already told him too much about it.
